A 56-year-old male with fever and enlarged mediastinum underwent examinations for lymphoma. He had back pain and hypotension. Computed tomography showed a false aneurysm of the aortic arch (Fig. 1a). Pathological aorta was excised. Reconstruction of the large hole on the aortic arch (Fig. 1b) with oval patch tailored from cryopreserved thoracic aorta was performed under hypothermic circulatory arrest. Blood and aortic cultures grew Salmonella. The patient had uneventful recovery. One year later is free from infection.
